Amazing compilation! But still, Boers are soldiers to respect, they resisted like lions.

Glad you liked it! And agreed, no one would deny them that.

General Buller doesn’t deserve the criticisms he gets, he saved Natal and George White. He was the first of the generals to adapt to Boer tactics such as using creeping barrages, stopping Botha’s shenanigans. Secondly he greatly redeemed himself with the capturing of 9,000 Boers and Laing Nek far outweighed his reverses at Colenso or Spion Kop in terms of killed or captured personnel. Alas, the British army’s factionalism between Lord Roberts and Wolseley is to blame.

The problem in those days was the "Indian" Generals vs "African" Generals! The war was run by the "Indian" Generals who side lined the "African" Generals and Buller was a "African" General!

Based compilation

Goodbye Dolly Grey was actually written during the Spanish-American war which pre-dated the Boer War, that it is normally associated with.

I seem to recall it was actually published in 1897, just before that war. It’s popularity in the anglophone realm, at the turn of the century, has enshrined it as a classic among commonwealth nations.

Awesome......I would like to add here The Boys of the Southern Cross....it is awesome

Thanks mate! That song just missed out unfortunately.

Excellent. STH Africa needs leadership , what a mess..

Beautiful , just beautiful....

I'd also just relatively recently found the "When The Empire Calls" album. Quite a treasure.

A good march from this era is "kiss me mother darling" its seems to be going extinct, it would make for a good video, keep up the excellent productions

A much forgotten war, which Britain lost in military terms, but won politically. Makes a change from all the war since then. GSTK.

Excellent compilation my friend

Never heard of most of these songs

What about the song "The Road to Gundegai"? (a tiny town in New South Wales, I think). I have just been reading "The Covenant" by James Michener which is why I looked up "Marching to Pretoria" on You Tube. So much warfare, so much death; every tiny settlement in New Zealand with a World War memorial to the young men lost. These songs keep us in touch with the past.

The Road to Gundagai wasn't written until 1922, two entire decades after the Boer War ended. I don't deny its significance to us in Australia, but it doesn't belong in this playlist. Nevertheless, if you're planning on doing a WW2 playlist, it'd be great if you included it there :)

So proud of my great grandfathers who fought the Boers. Destroyed the evil aggressors. One relieved Ladysmith from the Boer invasion and the other conquered Pretoria then rounded up the fanatics.
